Disclaimer: Do you think three normal (even though we're not) teenage
girls would own Harry Potter and all related characters? HA! We do,
however, own Chloe, Rhiannon, Rachael, and Sean!!!
A/N: Ok, second chapter. I think things will be moving along a bit better now as we're done with the opening chapter. Let's see.
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
I can't wait until Quidditch trials next week. I hope we can find our two new chasers. Hopefully they will be good as we need to WIN!!
Rhiannon asked me today if that's all I thought about, winning. Sean answered for me saying, "That and nothing else." I grinned sheepishly at her.
Rhiannon took it very well and teasingly said, "Oh well, I love a man who knows what he wants."
Sean laughed and said, "Well, maybe you won't have such a hard time finding a date to the ball after all, eh Ollie!"
I blushed something horrible but Rhiannon didn't notice as she was laughing just as hard as Sean. Honestly! Maybe those two should go together!
Once those two had calmed down some, I asked Rhiannon if she played any Quidditch.
"Oh yeah! All the time! It's my favorite sport and I plan on trying out," she responded immediately.
"For the chaser position? Really?" She nodded. "Are you any good?"
"Oy! Ollie, give it a break!" said Sean. Then after a second's pause, he asked her, "Are you good?"
Rhiannon laughed and said, "Of course I am! If I wasn't, do you really think I would be trying out?"
"Well, it's just, me and Oliver, we both want to win."
"You and the rest of the Gryffindor team," said Fred Weasley coming up to them and sitting down.
"Although," said his twin, George, "I think the rest of the teams would say that too."
"You guys!" shouted Harry Potter, our Seeker, running up to us, "I've just heard! It's horrible!"
"What is it, Harry?" asked Fred.
"Yeah tell us!" said Sean.
"The only other team that needs to have tryouts.so we have to have tryouts with them.at the same time." said Harry.
"WHO IS IT!?" bellowed George.
"Oh, right, Slytherin."
We all groaned. "What position do they need?" I asked.
"Only one," said Harry. "Beater."
"Oh man," said George, "what if they get someone good? It was our luck last year both their beaters were so terrible they didn't know what a bludger was! All they need is one really good beater and."
"We'll all be knocked off our brooms!" finished Fred.
"Yeah but remember, Malfoy's captain now. He won't be a good judge of whose good enough or not," pointed out Harry.
"Well I hope so, for all your sakes," said Rhiannon. "And mine, if I make it," she added as an afterthought.
"Oh you will, don't worry Rhiannon," said Rachael coming over to them. "I heard you talk about it on the train."
"I thought you weren't listening!" cried Rhiannon.
"Yes, well, I was. And if you play anything like what you said you do, then you'll be sure to make it."
"What about you?" asked Sean. "Are you going to try out?"
"Of course. I'm better then Rhiannon!" said Rachael. Rhiannon stuck her tongue out at her. The boys all laughed.
"Oh hey, Rachael," said Sean. "Do you have a date for the ball yet?"
"No. Do you?" she responded.
"No."
"Oh. Do ya want to go together then?" she asked.
Sean, needless to say, looked quite shocked. I think he meant to ask her. But he did manage to say, "Yes, sure." Rachael looked please. If only I could find it that easy to ask Rhian-I mean a girl to the ball.
~*~ Chloe Jordan's POV ~*~
I noticed Draco was sitting alone on a chair in the common room reading. I decided to go over and talk to him. Mostly about Quidditch, as he is the captain.
"Hey, Draco," I said, as I walked over to him and sat on the arm of the chair.
"Oh, hi, Chloe."
"Whatcha reading?"
"A book."
"Oh ha ha. Cute."
"What did you want?" he asked.
"Did you want to know my answer?"
"Your answer for what?"
"Whether I would go to the ball with you or not!" Honestly, doesn't he remember anything?!
"Oh! Yeah, um sure," he responded, looking a little uneasy.
"Well, I really though long and hard about it. I mean, we don't know each other too well." I was going to draw this out as long as possible. "But then again, this would enable us to talk to one another and get to know each other."
"Right."
"Hey Draco!" yelled someone from across the room.
"WHAT, PANSY??!!" Draco bellowed.
I looked behind us and saw Pansy Parkinson walking over to us. She came up to me, pushed me off the arm of the chair and sat in Draco's lap. Honestly, she tries WAY too hard.
"So, do you want to go to the ball with me? I'll make it worth your while," she purred. Or should I say, TRIED to purr.
Draco looked like I felt, utterly disgusted. He gave me a look that clearly said, "HELP ME!!!" So I did.
"But Pansy," I said, drawing her attention to me. "I just finished telling Draco that I would go with him! Isn't that right, Draco dear?"
Draco looked relieved and smiled at me. When Pansy turned around to ask him if this was true, he pushed her off his lap, stood up, and said, "Yes, that's right. And we're going to have a wonderful time, so bugger off, Pansy!" He then took my hand (sending chills up and down my arm for some weird reason), and we walked away. Pansy let out a frustrated shriek and ran to her room.
"So, was that what you were really going to say?" Draco asked me.
"That I would go with you?" He nodded. "Yes," I said. He smiled at me and I got this fluttery feeling. I really think something is wrong with me. Maybe I'm sick. I'll have to go up to the hospital wing to get the nurse to check me out then. As long as I don't miss Quidditch tryouts!
I've decided not to tell Draco that I plan on trying out for the Beater position. I think it might be more fun to surprise him.
A/N: Well, maybe this chapter was a bit better. Next chapter will be Quidditch trials! Yay!
Tell Rhiannon she's a dork for reviewing her own story!!!
Later!
